It may come as no surprise, with Earth Day on the 22nd, that the entire month of April has been devoted to our planet as Earth Month. And what better way to honor that than by shucking your winter boots, thick wooly socks, and heading outside to give your feet a dose of sunshine and fresh air?
We’re fully in the throes of Spring, and if all the chirping birds and blooming flowers remind you of itchy, watery eyes and a stuffy nose, then we’ve got some good news for you. While we can’t do much about the tree and grass pollen outside, allergy sufferers can find great relief with some thoughtful bedroom upgrades.
It’s officially March! And while several parts of the country are experiencing some epic winter weather (us included!), the days are growing longer, plants are stirring beneath the soil, and buds are beginning to pop out on the ends of the bare tree branches. So even if you’re not quite feeling or seeing it yet, the promise of it is there. Soon!
Clearly we’re really into wool—it’s our favorite fabric for clothing and household items, but it can be tricky to care for. Because of its unique properties, it requires special attention when it comes to washing, as traditional laundry detergents can damage or shrink the fibers. That’s why it’s important to use a wool-safe detergent when washing your woolen items.
As parents or guardians, large amounts of our daily bandwidth go toward making sure our littles are well taken care of. And given how much of our lives are spent in the bedroom (one third!), outfitting their sleeping space with bedding that is soft, comforting, and healthy is an important consideration.
Sleeping hot is a burning question on the minds of many folks shopping for mattresses and bedding. And a wool mattress or bedding can sound like a rather warm addition to what may already be some steamy nights.
